The idyllic village of Inniskeen in Co. Monaghan, best known as the home of world reknowned poet Patrick Kavanagh is the most recent recipient of investment from UCIT (Ireland). Inniskeen Pitch & Putt Club, on behalf of, and in association with a number of other local groups, are the lead partner responsible for the upgrading of the much used walkways along the local river to a standard which will not only make it safer for the many people of all ages that currently use the amenity, but also encourage more visitors into the village.

From observational experience, the absence of a footpath to service this walking route along the local road section has been a cause for concern among the community for some time now. Those trying to complete the river walk have had to compete with the onslaught of traffic on a winding road.

The project comprises the development of a footpath and public lighting along the River Fane in the centre of Inniskeen Village. When the project is completed it will serve as a useful amenity for residents and visitors alike (The circuit is short of 1 km in distance). Rural Development Programme funding has been approved by the local Leader agent together with funding already approved from the county council.
